Chapter 14 Saved Her Life

She turned to the right and came to the moat. It was almost the outskirts of the city. There was no one around, and even the noise in the market could only be faintly heard.

Dou Lianyi walked to the river and squatted down, holding the lotus lantern in her hand and closing her eyes to make a wish.

Then she opened her eyes and leaned forward slightly without warning, trying to put the lotus lantern into the water.

However, at this moment, she keenly felt someone approaching behind her, and then a gust of palm wind hit her!
Dou Lianyi wanted to move aside, but her legs and feet felt numb. She could only helplessly fall straight into the moat along with the wind of palms!

Damn it, she doesn’t know anything about water!
Dou Lianyi screamed secretly in her heart, and the next second she heard a "pop" and her whole body fell into the water.

"Help, help!"

The water surface of the moat seemed calm, but in fact there were whirlpools one after another. Dou Lianyi didn't even have time to see clearly who pushed her into the water, before she was wrapped in the current and sank.

Just when she closed her eyes in despair and wanted to give up, a figure swam nimbly and silently from the water in the distance.

The man held Dou Lianyi in his arms, kicked off the water with his legs, and swam forward. He didn't stop until he came to the cave under the stone bridge.

Covered by the shadows under the stone bridge, the man held Dou Lianyi out of the water and quickly went ashore.

When there was no trace left on the water in front of him, Lu Shangxuan walked out from behind the tree expressionlessly.

He stared at the lotus lantern floating on the moat, and said calmly: "Lian Niang, don't hate me even if you are a ghost, why did you block the way of me and Zhi'er without knowing it?"

After saying that, Lu Shangxuan turned around and left without any nostalgia.

At this time, Dou Lianyi fell into a coma in the bridge cave because too much river water had been poured in at once.

Her rescuer was not in a hurry to wake her up, but got up and lit a pile of firewood, and looked at Dou Lianyi carefully with complex eyes in the light of the fire.

After a long while, Dou Lianyi suddenly woke up from being choked. She beat her chest and coughed out the water in her lungs. Her face was pale and she looked very embarrassed.

After finally regaining consciousness, Dou Lianyi took a deep breath and felt that she was alive.

"Are you ok?"

However, the next second, a sudden voice almost scared her away half of her life.

"who is it!"

Only then did Dou Lianyi realize that there was a bonfire burning in front of him, and there was a person whose face he couldn't see clearly sitting in the shadow of the fire.

Not knowing whether he was a friend or an enemy, she immediately moved back, trying to distance herself from him.

The man leaned out so that Dou Lianyi could see him clearly, and then said gently: "Miss, do you still remember me?"

Dou Lianyi first saw the mask on the other person's face, and then her eyes fell on his moon-white dress that was still dripping.

Isn't this the young master who met him once during the Lantern Festival?
"It's you! Why are you here?"

Although he recognized the other party, Dou Lianyi was still wary.

After all, she didn't see clearly who pushed her into the river.

Faced with Dou Lianyi's suspicion, the masked man did not feel displeased at all, but calmly explained: "I originally just wanted to come to the river to put a lotus lantern, but I found someone sneakily hiding behind the tree, and took advantage of you, girl, when you weren't paying attention. You pushed into the water." "But there are almost no people here, why would you go here alone, sir?"

Dou Lianyi actually believed it in her heart, but she didn't show it.

"We come into contact with too many people on weekdays, and sometimes I just want to be clean and pure."

He made an understatement and looked at Dou Lianyi with eyes that were still bright and sincere.

"So, it was you who saved me, Master."

Dou Lianyi also remembered what happened in the water at this time, and her eyes gradually became clear.

The second she passed out, she seemed to have grasped something firmly in her hand. Thinking of this, Dou Lianyi subconsciously raised her eyes and glanced at the collar of the masked man.

That piece of clothing, which was obviously worth a lot of money, had become wrinkled, and it looked like it had been pulled out with a lot of force.

Dou Lianyi suddenly felt embarrassed. She cleared her throat, stood up and bowed to the other party to thank him: "I don't know what the young master's name is yet, and where he lives. I will definitely come to your door in person someday to thank you for saving your life tonight. "

"Girl, just call me Qin Mu." Qin Mu also stood up, gave Dou Lianyi a weak support, and said politely: "It was just a little help. No matter who encounters this kind of thing, they will help. Girls don’t need to be so polite.”

Dou Lianyi lowered her eyes and smiled, but secretly kept this life-saving grace in her heart.

She changed the subject, gestured to the clothes Qin Mu was wearing, and asked, "The clothes Mr. Qin is wearing should be made of silk and satin from the West Sea. I heard that water droplets on it will slide down quickly, and the output is small, so it is worth a lot of money." , the only drawback is that it wrinkles easily.”

"Have you seen the girl?"

Qin Mu was also a little surprised by Dou Lianyi's look. He nodded, and then asked curiously: "Is this girl also a businessman?"

This "ye" made Dou Lianyi smile slightly, and she came to a somewhat cunning conclusion: "It turns out that Mr. Qin is a businessman, so why don't you come to visit him if you don't know where his residence is?"

"Girl, you are really..." Qin Mu said half-way, then smiled helplessly and said, "If girl doesn't mind, you can come and sit in the 'Fengxue Pavilion'."

Fengxue Pavilion, this name is quite unique, Dou Lianyi thought to herself.

I don't know if it was because Qin Mu's gentle and elegant attitude made it easy for people to let down their guard. Dou Lianyi sat by the campfire and just chatted with him without saying a word.

Talking about the later period, Dou Lianyi became more and more impressed by the erudition of Mr. Qin.

"It's almost time for me to go back." Dou Lianyi seemed to hear the sound of cockcrows in the distance. She stood up suddenly and said anxiously: "Mr. Qin, I will visit you another day. I have something to do today." Let’s take the first step.”

"it is good."

Qin Mu nodded and stood up, but to avoid suspicion, he did not go out with Dou Lianyi.

Because Dou Lianyi did not return all night, there was a lot of commotion in the prince's palace at this time, and almost all the guards were sent out to look for Dou Lianyi's traces.

Mrs. Lu sat in the room anxiously waiting for the news, with bubbles growing out of the corners of her mouth.

But when she caught a glimpse of the undisguised smile in Lu Shangxuan's eyes next to her, she felt something bad in her heart.

After ordering all the servants in the room to go out, she smashed her crutches on the ground and reprimanded in a low voice: "Guizi, do you know the impact of the disappearance of the prime minister's daughter? You want to kill the county?" Everyone in the palace?"
